"About 1,500 people are expected to be at the state capitol today to voice their opinion about SB 1098, which would allow government to have a hand in Catholic parish finances. The three Connecticut diocese urged parishioners to attend today to voice their opinion.

Stay tuned." This is from Tracy Simmons's blog, Waterbury Republican reporter. Check it out here
